Second password would actually unlock the entire phone and all files.
Truecrypt used to have this feature (when it was around). Only the second password would actually open the full encrypted storage - first password - which you could give under duress would only 'see' fake stuff that you put there; always thought that was a clever feature - never had a need to use it myself.
Presumably if you are sufficiently concerned your only option would be to erase your devices prior to crossing the border?
Re Australia, this is just the latest in a long list of many reasons I'll never go there. As someone else said, it will be interesting to see if tourism resumes or if most people will not risk trying to go their anymore given their recent behavior
I'm talking about things like the Assistance and Access bill, data retention laws, the lack of usefully constitutionally protected rights, border policies like this, state governments banning basically harmless gel blasters while paintball remains legal, the bizarre online privacy law changes around the "eSafety Commission", efforts to ban cash transactions of $10000 or more, the currently underway efforts to "reform" the surveillance legislation giving them powers to modify data and take over accounts of anyone as they see fit (since theres no oversight mechanism beyond "trust we do our jobs")... the entire damn country has gone beyond "nanny state" and is getting worse every time I look at it...
But I'm still not seriously considering moving... Pre-Brexit I would have been seriously looking at moving to the UK by now since I'd probably have just spent most of my time in the rest of the EU and could avoid the worst of the UK's eccentricities... But Brexit... The USA remains a non-starter due to the insanity that is healthcare in the USA.
I know there are lots of insurance shenanigans I'm probably glossing over, but I still wouldn't rule out the US on the grounds of healthcare if you have a good job / career
Australia doesn't have enough people, wealth, or apparently the political will to oppose China.
Warren advised people flying into Australia not to have anything on their device that they don’t want authorities accessing, and to ensure their device is encrypted with a strong passcode.
“Once they take your device out of your sight, you should assume it’s completely compromised and they have a copy of everything that was on it, and act accordingly,” he said.
James said the incident made him rethink what he would do next time he travels out of Australia.
“I think what I’ll just do next time is as we fly into Sydney, I’ll just press the factory reset button on the phone and when they pull me up again, I’ll be handing them a fresh clean factory reset.”
Compromised means that they will have anything you put on that device after that point. Meaning it should go straight into the shredder and go buy a new one.
Doesn't matter if its factory reset or not, it needs to go in the trash
Why does this matter, if Australia will just force you to tell them what it is?
